"Creating a Total Safety Culture requires a common vision and effort from everyone in an organization. There is compelling scientific research demonstrating that the management philosophy of an organization is the most important factor determining its safety performance. For example, research demonstrates that companies with the lowest lost-time injury rates have the highest level of management commitment and employee involvement."

Creating a SAFETY CULTURE through Felt Leadership by Melodie A. Schweitzer, Ph.D. — DuPont Safety Resources
"If you look closely at companies with effective safety programs that reduce the high financial and human costs of injuries and fatalities, you will see many common factors. For example, accountability is practiced at all levels of the organization. Leading indicators are examined and measured. Communication is constantly being improved.
But when you see a company with a truly sustainable safety culture, another factor comes into playóone shared by every company that has ever made the list of the worldís safest companies. That factor is felt leadership. Felt Leadership Defined
What exactly is felt leadership? For DuPont, felt leadership is respect through action for the well-being of people. Felt leadership is a public proclamation of an organizationís commitment to caring about people. It is a building block in constructing trust and real-world relationships among employees, customers, shareholders and communities.
When felt leadership is demonstrated within an organization in the area of safety, a cultural transformation can and will occur. More importantly, that transformation is sustainable because it becomes part of the fabric of the company and the environment in which employees operate."
